For QUINTEN Works door frames designed for different locations - different casing depths, heights, and widths - have been loosely bound together in a freestanding position. Where the doorframes match and build angles, polished aluminium plates have been produced as fitting pieces. They hold the temporary setting in position, stabilize it and can be understood as excess value. Detached from the door frames of which they stem from, they are looking for new and unknown functions in other places.
